Fridge Too Warm Then Too Cold - Help!

my first question would be why was the coil all frozen? Defrost problem or was door ajar? Defrost problem can cause both your symptoms. Since its been a few days since you defrosted it has it come back again?

Fridge Too Warm Then Too Cold - Help!

Defrost system wasn't working properly. After thinking it over some more, I concluded that it had to have been the thermostat that wasn't working since the defrost heater worked fine on a manual forced defrost cycle.

The fridge also came out of the defrost cycle automatically so I also think the timer is fine.

So I ripped out the thermostat and did a continuity test to find that the part was busted.

Ordered a new one and installed it yesterday. Seems to be working fine - defrost system is now automatically kicking into gear.

My only concern now is still with the fridge damper. Doesn't seem to close all the way but then again i'm not sure it's supposed to close all the way (the extent of my refrigerator knowledge is google and youtube lol)
